Charles  Town  was  first  laid  out  in  1 672,  and  a  large 
lot  at  the  southeast  comer  of  Broad  and  Church  (sub- 
sequently Meeting)  streets  was  reserved  for  a  church. 

Upon  this  lot  the  first  St.  Philip's  Church  was  erected 
about  1 683.  But  there  were  probably  interments  made 
on  this  lot  even  before  the  first  church  was  erected,  for 
after  the  earthquake  of  1886,  while  some  workmen 
were  repairing  the  foundations  of  the  present  church, 
they  discovered  a  cedar  coffin,  with  the  date  1 678  and 
the  initials  J.  O.  B.  studded  on  the  lid  with  brass  tacks. 

In  1  7 1 1  a  new  church  was  commenced  upon  the  site 
occupied  by  the  present  St.  Philip's,  and  this  church 
having  been  completed  and  occupied  by  the  year  1  727, 
the  old  church  was  in  this  latter  year  taken  down,  but 
the  lot  continued  to  be  used  as  a  bmying-ground. 

The  Act  for  establishing  St.  Michael's  Parish  was 
passed  June  14,  1 75 1 ,  and  the  church  was  commenced 
ii^  1 752,  upon  the  site  of  the  first  St.  Philip's. 


I  wish  to  express  my  appreciation  of  the 
assistance  given  by  Mr.  A.  S.  Salley,  Jr.,  in 
the  publication  of  this  book,  and  to  thank  all 
who  have  helped  with  it  in  any  way,  or  have 
shown  a  kindly  interest  in  my  work.

In  temper,  he  was  frank,  manly  and  sincere, 

In  deportment,  dignified  and  courteous; 

And  in  all  the  domestic  relations  of  life 

Exemplary  and  irreproachable. 

TTiis  monument  is  consecrated  by  filial  reverence 
To  the  memory  of  an  honored  parent.

to  sing  for  joy."

Novr.  5th.  1843. 

Aged  22. 

Of  all  thy  kindred  at  thy  dying  day 
Were  none  to  speed  thee  on  thy  solemn  way; 
Yet  ever  lives  distinct  and  deeply  dear 
Their  sight  with  them  of  this  thy  corner  here; 
Each  heart  so  oft  hath  come  and  sought  and  seen 
That  Ocean  space  hath  shrimk  to  naught  between. 
And  more  their  own  seems  now  the  stranger's  shore 
Than  when  with  thee  they  dwelt  on  it  before. 

Since  God  doth  early  break  the  golden  bowl. 
And  loose  the  silver  cord  that  links  the  soul 
To  earth.  His  will  be  done.    Oh,  may  he  rise 
A  chosen  vessel  to  a  heavenly  prize.

Beneath  this  Marble, 

the  too  perishable  Monument  of  a  Widow's  Love, 

are  deposited  the  bones  and  ashes 

of  ROBERT  Y.  HAYNE. 

No  sculptured  stone  is  needed  to  perpetuate 

the  memory  of  this  illustrious  name. 

The  Archives  of  his  Country 

are  ennobled  by  his  Honors, 

and  his  public  services  are  stamped 

for  Immortality 

Upon  the  face  of  his  native  state, 

and  upon  the  Institutions  of  the  Union, 

It  is  the  smitten  Heart 

that  would  would  relieve  its  anguish 

by  this  record  of  his  rare  virtues, 

his  real  nobleness,  his  incomparable  excellence. 

That  heart  alone  can  know  how  far 

The  Wisdom  of  the  Statesman,  the  eloquence  of  the  Senator, 

and  the  courage  of  the  Hero 

were  transcended  by  those  sublimer  qualities 

which  made  him  the  Idol  of  his  Wife, 

the  Pattern  of  his  Children 

the  guide  of  his  Friends, 

the  honest,  incorruptible  Patriot, 

The  Wisdom  which  counselled  Nations,  ruled  his  Home, 

The  Tongue  which  swayed  the  People,  charmed  his  Fireside, 

The  Heart  which  nerved  a  state,  allured  his  Household, 

His  Widow  and  his  Children 

could  find  no  consolation  in  his  loss 

save  in  the  humble  hope 

that  they  have  given  him  up  to  that  God 

who  is  the  Father  of  the  Fatherless

No  son  of  South  Carolina 

Was  ever  more  cherished  by  his  noble  Mother 

Than  the  subject  of  this  memorial. 

Her  honors  were  heaped  upon  him  in  early 

and  rapid  succession. 

Elected  at  his  majority  to  her  House  of  Representatives 

He  soon  became  its  Speaker; 

And  was  thence  transferred  to  the  responsible 

station  of  Attorney  General. 

When  just  old  enough  to  claim  his  seat. 

He  was  chosen  to  represent  Her 

In  the  Senate  of  the  Union. 

Having  eloquently  vindicated  her  Principles, 

In  her  moment  of  extreme  peril. 

She  entrusted  her  Honor  to  his  keeping, 

laying  upon  his  shoulders 

the  burden  of  her  Government. 

No  sooner  was  the  sword  sheathed 

than  she  summoned  him  to  advocate  the  interest 

of  her  Agriculture  and  Commerce. 

In  the  fulfilment  of  these  trusts 

He  sacrificed  his  Life 

having  lived  long  enough  for  his  own  fame : 

having  died  too  soon  for  his  Country's  good.

But  thou  O  Heaven  keep  keep  what  THOU  hast  taken. 

And  with  our  treasure  keep  our  hearts  on  high, 

The  spirit  meek  and  yet  by  pain  unshaken 

The  faith,  the  love  the  lofty  constancy — 

Guide  us  where  these  are  with  our  Sister  flown — 

They  were  of  Thee  and  thou  hast  claimed  thine  own.

JURIST,  ORATOR.  STATESMAN.  PATRIOT. 

Future  times  will  hardly  know  how  great  a  life 

This  simple  stone  commemorates. — 

The  tradition  of  his  Eloquence,  his 

Wisdom  and  Wit  may  fade; 

But  he  lived  for  ends  more  durable  than  fame. 

His  eloquence  was  the  protection  of  the  poor  and  wronged 

His  Learning  illuminated  the  principles  of  Law — 

In  the  admiration  of  his  Peers, 

In  the  respect  of  his  People 

In  the  affection  of  his  Family. 

His  was  the  highest  place; 

The  just  meed 

Of  his  kindness  and  forbearance. 

His  dignity  and  simplicity 

His  brilliant  Genius  and  his  unwearied  industry, 

Unawed  by  Opinion, 

Unseduced  by  Flattery 

Undismayed  by  disaster. 

He  confronted  Life  with  antique  Courage 

And  Death  with  Christian   Hope. 


In  the  great  Civil  War 

He  withstood  his  People  for  his  Country, 

But  his  People  did  homage  to  the  Man 

Who  held  his  conscience  higher  than  their  praise; 

And  his  Country 

Heaped  her  honours  on  the  grave  of  the  Patriot, 

To  whom,  living. 

His  own  righteous  self-respect  sufficed. 

Alike  for  Motive  and  Reward.

Conspicuous  among  his  graces 

Was  that  genuine  filial  love 

Which  in  its  duties  finds  its  pleasures. 

The  principles 

Which  should  govern  his  conduct. 

Were  sought  in  the  precepts

to  acknowledge  before  the  vv^orld 

Him  who  is  "The  way,  the  Truth,  the  Life," 

And  through  Whom 

"Death  is  swallowed  up  in  victory."

In  the  Ninetieth  year  of  his  age. 

For  many  years  an  eminent  lawyer 

In  this  city,  he  was  not  less  admired 

For  his  knowledge  which  was  various 

And  profound,  them  for 

Those  qualities  of  heart  and  mind 

Which  made  it  honorably  &  practically  useful. 

Preferring  the  calm  of  retirement 

To  the  distinction  of  public  life. 

He  rather  shunned  than  sought  office : 

And  was  as  remarkable  for  declining, 

As  many  are,  for  courting  its  honors 

But  the  appointments  which  he  did  accept 

Both  elevated  and  responsible. 

Were  discharged  v^dth  learning. 

Ability  and  fidelity. 

He  submitted  patiently  to  the  infirmities 

Of  age,  and  died  with  the  resignation 

of  a  Christian.

The  loveliest  of  her  Sex; 

These  were  rendered  the  more  estimable 

By  her  discreet,  moral  and  pious  conduct, 

In  her  life  she  was  therefore  much  beloved. 

And  at  her  death  much  lamented. 

But  her  afflicted  husband  and  children 

"Sorrowed  not  as  those  without  hope." 

For  they  were  by  this  hope  consoled. 

That  GOD  had  willed  to  translate  her. 

From  this  frail  and  fleeting  existence 

To  one  of  everlasting  bliss. 

And  that  by  His  grace  they  may  so  live 

Here,  as  to  be  reunited  to  her  hereafter.

The  South  Carolina  Society

Recommendations  from  the  most  respectable 
sources  of  the  high  attainments  of  this  lady

established  by  the  Society  to  select  her  as 

the  Principal  of  the  Female  department. 

Urged  by  a  pious  sense  of  filial  duty 

To  contribute  to  the  comfort  of  an  aged  mother 

she  sought  the  responsible  office, 

and  in  a  short  time  fulfilled  the  hopes 

which  her  reputation  had  authorised. 

To  an  energy  not  inconsistent  with  the 

character  of  the  softer  sex 

She  added  an  urbanity,  which  tempered 

without  impairing  her  discipline. 

The  interesting  objects  of  her  care 

acknowledged  the  justness  of  her  decisions 

whilst  they  were  grateful  for  the  mildness 

with  which  these  were  enforced. 

Zealous  and  cheerful  in  the  discharge 

of  her  duties,  she  won  the  studious  application 

of  her  admiring  pupils,  whose  innocent  tears 

consecrate  the  memory  of  her  Virtues, 

and  afford  the  best  illustration 

of  her  eminent  worth.

Who  was  a  member  of  the  Church  for 

upwards  of  fifty  years. 

Though  afflcted  in  body  and  the  loss 

of  sight  for  many  years  yet — she  never 

murmured,  but  with  humble  resignation 

often  said  "the  Lord  hath  done  it  for 

My  good,"  and  it  was  sanctified  to  her. 

For  she  retained  her  memory 

to  the  last,  enjoying  the  comforts 

And  consolations  of  the  blessed  Gospel 

And  finally  "fell  asleep  in  Jesus" 

On  the  27th.  Sept.  1855, 
Aged  82  years,  1 1  months  7  days. 


Here  in  the  silent  grave  is  laid 

TTie  mortal  body  freed  from  pain, 
That  debt  by  nature  must  be  paid 

For  all  return  to  dust  again; 
Tho  all  that's  mortal  must  decay. 

Their  is  a  part  which  cannot  die, 
And  that — ^will  waft  its  onward  way 

To  meet — ^its  just  reward  on  high.
